I’m studying to be an actuary, and that is exactly as exciting as it sounds. I’m not a guy who revels in risk. So why am I sneaking into a gay roadhouse tonight? Good question.

I just wanted to live a little, but now I’m in big trouble. That bouncer right there? He’s too big with too many tattoos, too many muscles, and too many reasons I should run. He took one look at me and decided I was his. He’s possessive, dominating, and so intense for someone inexperienced like me.

And reader, I just married him.

Love, Actuarily is the first story in the Nerd in the Hand series by debut author Tragen Moss. Each book is a fun, over-the-top tale about awkward nerds and the hella delicious blue collar dudes who fall desperately in love with them and are re-imagined books from Tragen's other pen name. They all have a May-December feel to them—but don’t worry about the boys. They have these alpha men wrapped around their pinkies. You know how it goes…the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
